No they don't. It's to do with weight. Small ones are not the same potency as ones that have been left to grow to full size. 5 small ones could easily be less potent than one big one.
Cough bullshit cough.

Isn't it once the veil opens up that the mushroom doesn't produce anymore psilocybin, it just grows larger in size? So basically the smaller BUT fully developed shrooms have the most bang for your buck
definitely not 100% on that but I remember reading something similar here once.

seems to be a bit of a debate of if potency is in weight or size.. or neither. Maybe the mushroom starts off with a certain amount of Psilocybin and then the larger it gets it just spreads out.. . who knows Ill do some research.
The other thing I was thinking about is where do the spores actually come from in the first place? why are there only these subs growing in this weird spot rather than the acres and acres of National Park I searched though that has a seemingly better environment for sub growth ...

There's probably an inexhaustable amount of reasons why they are growing where they are and not where you have looked in the past. In essence they are genetically programmed to grow in the most suitable environment they can find, while we are merely trying to guess where that would be.

My thoughts exactly. The reason I think there is this fog around this is that there are many people here that get very emotional over people picking pins. Personally, I have picked plenty of them, mainly because the patch that Ive found was soo freaking huge, that picking off the pins would do shit all to it. And eating 9 pins that weight 0.9grams as a whole, made me trip so much more then 2 shrooms that weighted 1.5grams.

I was mainly asking, where do the spores come from in the first place? How did they get to this little patch I found and then for 2 square kilometres around it not a single sub?! is it the elves that Terrence Mckenna was talks about that come and sprinkle a few spores, making a big treasure hunt for all us hunters?

I wonder what came first the spore or the Psilocybe subaeruginosa. They were most likely carried on the wind, which is why leaving pins is important, it will give that little isolated patch a chance to spread it's wings.

spores can spread a LONG way via wind, but more likely that the area you're finding them in has been mulched or had something with spores on it introduced to that area 
some pics from a hunt in various locations today. There are some inactives that im not bothering to ID right now, but they were purty: Inactive unknowns:
 
Fairy ring:

Agrocybes (?)

Field of stink horns:

Mycena viscidocruenta (iirc). There's what looks like subs in the background of this pic that i didnt even notice while hunting. Hopefully another patch 
 
And finally some subs:

The mushrooms in the last pic are just a small fraction of the whole patch, which contains well in excess of 300 specimens, spread over an area of around 50 meters. These were found in the illawarra.

Hi All,
Only found out that Subs existed 2 weeks ago, having previously traveled North of Sydney in order to find some growing on cow shit. Last weekend we found 5 in one day, 5 in the next. Today we again went to the mountains and came back with 82!!

I have been reading a lot on their habitat and most of what I have read centers around finding them in leaf mulch around the base of trees and in wood chipped suburban areas. All of our finds have been on grass, and it doesn't even need to be long grass. Is this pretty common?
Also, if I throw these in a dehydrator, what setting should I use. It has 1, 2 and 3 (if that's of any help).
Cheers

I always weigh my dose, and get almost exactly the same strength each time... I eat 2-3 big mushrooms and it gives me the same effect as when I eat 10 medium/small ones...
EDIT: Do a search for this if you don't believe me. Technically smaller ones are more potent by gram, but a big one can weigh 10x a pin. A big one is stronger than a pin, but not 10x, even though it weighs 10x more. 10 pins weighing 2grams vs. 10 mature ones weighing 20grams... 2grams aint going to put you on your ass... but Id like to see you eat 20grams..

Anyway.. went for a walk this morning but forgot my camera worst day to forget it... came across LOTS of subs!
Here's some of the bigger ones:
 Not the biggest I've seen, but I'm quite happy!

Yes, what i meant or rather what i do mean is that they all contain the same amount of active ingred. in pins and fully matured mushrooms. Hell the mycellium is supposed to be active too but you would need to eat a shitload of it to get fucked!
Anyhow, yes i've tried pins and monsters as your about to see what the haul come in like today.
Found ten ft from where we parked the car, the fist of many to be found today.




Just some of the monsters we found. The biggest shroom went 12.9g, next to my mammoth hand and phono you get the idea..

yah the mycena! had to tell my mate a thousand times to leave them alone, he kept yelling out "man look at the blueing on these things!" and i kept having a go back "just pick the fucking one's i told you, that's not blueing, they are blue, and we don't want them"
All in all a good day today, and excellent fucking weather..
